Embodying Love

Choreographers show their communal love for ballet, modern/contemporary, and hip-hop. Electrifying works explore the connection between emotion and physiology, as well as the agency we give ourselves—and others give us—to feel happiness and pleasure. Also featuring the Jayhawk Tap Co.
